Bahrain’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation remained unchanged in August 2026, holding at 3.00% year-on-year, the same pace recorded in July 2026. According to data updated on 28 September 2026, the annual rate of price growth showed no acceleration or deceleration between the two months.
The August reading confirms a period of stability in Bahrain’s inflation dynamics, with the “actual” figure reflecting price changes compared to August of the previous year, and the “previous” figure showing July’s change relative to July a year earlier. The back-to-back 3.00% prints suggest that, at least over the summer period, consumer prices are rising at a consistent annual rate, providing policymakers and businesses with a clearer backdrop for planning and forecasting.
